If you cut the sub woofer cover then why did you go through the trouble of taking the panel off. Would it be easier to just cut out the sub woofer cover and then remove the old speaker? I wish you had some video of what it looked like after you removed the old speaker.
Probably because didnt know the depth of the stock speaker. ("No intel at all at the time") And used the opportunity to show the audience some INTEL goofy....
Good video! Just a heads up for future folks giving this a whirl. You do not need to unscrew the two bolts holding the latch for the tailgate. You simply need to unclip the piece of plastic surrounding it.
I feel a jigsaw and build a custom box could accomplish this in much less time. That being said there is a perfectly good storage compartment in the rear. Where I’m sure a small form sub could do wonders…
I have 2 of these hooked up to a 1600w sound stream amp. And sounds pretty good for shallow subs on a low budget. I would definently put a 8” sub back there so fit would be good and can breath also.
I have a 07 pilot with the same stock sub. Where did the stock wires run to? Does the stock sub have its own amp? I’m looking to use the wire to power my sub but my sub does not output audio.
My steering wheel has buttons that controls the stock radio, what aftermarket radio would you recommend that can be connected to the steering wheel controls too?
Where are your other videos you mentioned? I would like to see wiring from the engine. I have a 2006 Pilot driving me crazy with the factory sub rattle. Also, can I just cut out the grill and remove the old sub without taking the panel off? I could just fish the wires to the new sub.
Sorry for the late response, I am about to upload the firewall video. I would not recommend cutting the grill when the panel is still in because its thick plastic and I had to use an electric saw. Also the screws to take out the old sub might be hard to get to.
@@jonathanmoraglia255 Thanks for the new video it's great! Also, what size bit did you use? And it looks like you did not put a rubber grommet in the hole do you think over time the metal will cut through the wire?
If you want to keep the stock head unit and nav, you ought to interface the system with an audiocontrol d5.1300, this amp has a built in DSP, 4 channels for your highs and INE channel for a sub.
@@jonathanmoraglia255 Do you happen to have a video of how to do this and what type of amp to use I don't want anything too crazy just better quality sub the factory
Sorry but this is just awful. I'd never do this. It leaves the sub in plain view for break-ins, it looks bad seeing the old partially cut grill, it doesn't seal well, and it is decreases resale value of the vehicle by destroying the factory interior trim panel. Just install the sub behind the panel. There are plenty of excellent shallow subwoofer drivers available that will fit fine with no modifications and sound great. In fact Rockford Fosgate makes multiple. I've been installing professional car audio equipment since the mid 1980's and was an engineer for Rockford Fosgate...
So, I know this vid is from a while back, but I hope you know what I'm talking about. With the stock system, there is a rattle, which sounds like it's coming from the panel somewhere. Was this remedied when you took off the panel, and installed an aftermarket sub, and tightened everything down, or did/would you suggest installing matting somewhere in there to help with the vibration? Sorry for being so long-winded lol

Found that out the hard way today. 😂
I was going to say the same thing

Thank you so much for this video 🙌🏽 Will be replacing my '06 Pilot stock subwoofer on Friday.
great video! Clear and concise!
I have a 07 pilot with the same stock sub. Where did the stock wires run to? Does the stock sub have its own amp? I’m looking to use the wire to power my sub but my sub does not output audio.
Broh, could you tell me what is the size of the subwoofer that it comes with? I want to put a new one but the same size!
My steering wheel has buttons that controls the stock radio, what aftermarket radio would you recommend that can be connected to the steering wheel controls too?
I have an 08 pilot. Would 10 inch sub be the same ? Plan on upgrading that soon
Same I would like to know

@@bobcee501 The bit size depends on your wire thickness. I don't think the metal will be a problem as the cable wont be moving around
How.much did the sub cost? Is that a sub repladement or has to be wired to an amp like any other aftermarket system?
How can I activate the subwoofer in my Honda pilot 2004
What is the original size or subwoofer
Thanks doh
These sub are meant to have some kind of box to create good bass it’s worthless without it unless it’s a free air sub
Holy hell why do they make it so difficult to replace a single speaker?
I want to do the same thing in my 2010 model i was told it was more trouble than worth idk please help me
is that speaker a 10 inch????
I connected a stereo myself now mine subwoofer is not working? I'm assuming my harness bypass the amp. How can I make my woofer work
The stock radio has a built in 50 watt sub amp , you will need an aftermarket small amp to run your sub .
were is the ubication of that amp stocke@@edwardautrey3671
Any good brands on subwoofers? I’m looking to get an upgrade on my 06
Hi, I have a 2003 pilot with the am/fm CD system. I can't figure out how to control the subwoofer.
Are you using the stock head unit? I want to add a after market sub and keep the radio with navigation and dvd system. is that possible?
Yep very possible
I think
If you want to keep the stock head unit and nav, you ought to interface the system with an audiocontrol d5.1300, this amp has a built in DSP, 4 channels for your highs and INE channel for a sub.
Would this be the same for a Honda passport ?
buen vídeo, si pudieras esplicarlo en español sería genial, abrazo.
did you use the factory subwoofer amplifier, or an aftermarket amplifier?
Still didn't answer the question if if you used stock or aftermarket amp?

Can I keep all my factory stuff and features and just replace this sub/amp?
adrian ugalde yes. You can wire the sub to the stock radio. But you’ll need to run new sub wires.
@@jonathanmoraglia255
Do you happen to have a video of how to do this and what type of amp to use I don't want anything too crazy just better quality sub the factory
@@jonathanmoraglia255 I'd love to see a video on that also.
Interesting
How much you think it cost for someone to install it. That was alot
Is is there any kind of amplifier with the stock subwoofer
No amp, it just runs off the deck.
Which wire is pos and which is neg?
Do u have stock radio still?
no, aftermarket
@@jonathanmoraglia255 what aftermarket radio do you have because I can’t find one that will fit mine

Actually I just connected the blue power antenna and it activated it
R these stock speakers?

Yes I would. I had a lot of rattling in the beginning but once I added some foam it was basically gone
Check the seatbelt
Do you know the ring dimensions.
You could have explained this via audio book with a couple pictures. Thanks for not showing us the process
Do you get any rattling?
Do you wish you should’ve installed a smaller sub?
prank diver I do get some rattling but I’m very happy with the sub
I want to replace it but after I replace my stock radio my stock subwoofer doesn't work so I'm thinking about replacing it damn it's a lot of work
The stock head unit controls that stock sub; found out the hard way changed my head unit in 2015 Honda Pilot EXL
Wait, so I _can't_ start system first? Well, there goes that plan....
Will this work for 06 mdx??
Paul Day I don’t know
Do you have a aftermarket radio if so did you replace the gps radio?
